game makes me want to hang myself but very nice yes
half sword is amaazing
So, I really love this game and all and I am leaving this as a positive review for now, but wtf happened? I played this a bunch at release and while it had its flaws, it was still overall fun. Now I picked it back up after some updates and everything seems broken. My guys arm randomly breaks when I swing any weapon and sometimes I just fall over and die when I hit the floor. It is pretty much unplayable at the moment. I am trusting they will fix this but that was so disappointing to come back to after some "improvements".
To be entirely honest as i have over 20 hours in the demo, as well as this, it is a dissapointment. poorly optimized, looks eh even on high settings. i run it on low and it barely works. for context i can run games like helldivers at max settings and avg 60fps. with this 60fps is a maybe at best. it needs to be optimized, it needs to be properly done, and if you want to play this game go play the demo until they fix it.
Демка искренне лучше была Вместо оптимизации, новых интересных механик и более интересной системы прогрессии, оптимизация стала, каким-то хуем, хуже, механики были ухудшены или и вовсе убраны ♥♥♥♥♥, а про систему прогрессии даже говорить особо не хочется Туда же можно и бездну приписать, которая тупо неиграбельная. В демке там были обычные враги, сейчас же у нас ♥♥♥♥♥ зомби, которые по началу сильно не отличались, за исключением этого наитупейшего укуса, который бросает в стаггер почти гарантом, но теперь они вообще бессмертные, некоторые тупо неуязвимые, а сам укус теперь не просто в стаггер бросает, как раньше, а вообще убить может, из-за чего без полного набора брони, которую один ♥♥♥ пробьют, но мы не об этом, туда лезть смысла нет Хотел бы дополнить про постоянные вылеты, баги и отсутствующую оптимизацию, но, к сожалению, игра вылетает от фатал еррора раньше, чем я успеваю хоть что-то подметить
It was good then it was bad and now its good again very nice
Its great but the mechanic to get up is so bad because it forces you to crawl and half of the time I end up dying.
Demo Is so much better Then this Sh**
Fun game, didn't crash as much as what i've seen online that being said though I'm not completely without crashes. really fun to use (most of) the weapons at (most of) the classes but for the price? you'll have a good 5-20 hours of solid fun in the games current state of the game (0.6.1.5) I highly reccomend!
Crash Sword.
